Highways winter operations

Published
Winter operations are in full swing as we tackled ice, snow and Storm Bert during November.

Here are four useful sources of information about our winter operations:

1.  We’ve published a new guide to Highways winter operations, summarising key information about gritting routes, grit bins, snow wardens and: highways-winter-operations-booklet-2024-25.pdf

2.  You will also find useful information on the winter pages of the highways website.

3.  This short video provides an overview.

4.  The Adverse Weather Plan is a detailed document about arrangements for dealing with adverse weather on the highway, from heat, flooding and high winds, to cold temperatures, ice and snow. Read about our decision-making processes, salt storage capacity, the timing of road treatments, cycleway treatments, gritting routes, and more. 

All winter our gritters and teams are on standby to work on the roads and help Gloucestershire get through whatever the weather throws at us.
